Wells, Greg
Greg Wells, born in 1982 is a member of the Wei Wai Kum Nation, originating from the Likwiltoch People of Campbell River and Cape Mudge Village.
Cape Mudge is the territory of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation and includes territory between a line running from Cape Mudge, Quadra Island to the mouth of Bute Inlet northward to Smith Inlet and around Vancouver Island to Quatsino Sound. It was near Cape Mudge Village that the first contact was made between European explorers charting the British Columbia coast and local First Nations.
Greg’s father is Larry Wells from the Kwiakah Nation and Louise Wells from the Wei Wai Kum Nation. His grandmother originates from the Tahltan and Tsimshian in Bella Bella and the Kwagulilth.
Greg is currently carving under the tutelage of Chief John Henderson. He’s a very talented young man, very skilled and with a great career ahead of him. He already has accomplished his own designs and style and clearly has lot of love for the art.
We are honored to welcome him to our Gallery, and we truly enjoyed meeting and chatting with him.
